Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to returnable shipping containers, and more specifically to returnable shipping containers having drop down doors to permit access to goods contained in such containers.
- Such containers typically have one or more drop-down doors located in the sidewalis of the container to permit operators easy access to the interior of the container to load goods into or unload goods from the container.
- drop-down doors are typically hinged at the bottom and held in an upright position using a pair of latches located on the vertical sides of the door.
- the mating hinge knuckles are formed integrally with the container sidewall and the drop -down door. A hinge pin is then inserted to bear the load of the door and to establish the axis of rotation.
- the present invention relates to a reusable shipping container having a safety catch to keep a drop down door connected to said container if the door's hinges were to fail.
- Figure 1 is a perspective vie of an embodiment of a shipping container with drop down doors and an embodiment of the safety catch.
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of a sidewali from the embodiment shown in Figure i including the drop down door in an upright position and the safety catch.
- Figure 3 is a detail perspective view of the embodiment from Figure 2 showing the safety catch with the drop down door in an upright position.
- Figure 4 is a perspective view of a sidewali from the embodiment shown in Figure 1 including the drop down door in a lowered position and the safety catch.
- Figure 5 is a detail perspective view of the embodiment from Figure 4 showing the safety catch with, the drop down door in a lowered position.
- Figure 6 is a perspective view of a sidewali from the embodiment shown in Figure 1 including the drop down door in a partially lowered position and the safety catch.
- Figure 7 is a detail perspective view of the embodiment from Figure 6 showing the safety catch with the drop down door a partially lowered position.
- Figure 8 is a perspective view of a sidewali from the embodiment shown in Figure i with the drop down door removed and including the sidewali portion of the safety catch.
- Figure 9 is a detail perspective view of the embodiment from Figure 8 showing the sidewali portion of the safety catch with the drop down door removed.
- Figure 10 is a perspective view of the drop down door from the embodiment shown in Figure 1 including the door portion of the safety catch.
- Figure 1 1 is a detail perspective view of the embodiment from Figure 10 showing the door portion of the safety catch on the drop down door.
- the present invention is a shipping container for bulk goods.
- Container 1 comprises rectangular base, sidewails 40, and one or more door 50.
- Door 50 is hinged at its bottom to allow easy access to the goods contained in container 1, and. known container designs use many known hinge designs.
- door 50 includes two hinges 52. Each hinge 52 comprises alternating knuckles 54 that are formed integrally with sidewali 40 and door 50. A hinge pin is inserted through alternating knuckles 54 to rotatably affix door 100 to sidewali 40.
- Door 50 also includes latches to affix door 50 in its upright position. As discussed above, hinges used with drop downs doors on containers are a frequent failure point.
- failures include, missing hinge pins (which can result from an assembly error or due to vibration during transportation), broken knuckles, and, in the case of non-integral hinges, the failure of the connection of hinges 52 to sidewall 40 or to door 50.
- Such failures are problematic because, as discussed above, even if the hinge or hinges have failed, the door will remain in its upright position due to latches 58 and the fact that the lower portion of door 50 rests on sidewall 40.
- latches 58 when an operator releases latches 58 and allows door 50 to freely rotate toward is open position, door 50 may separate from container 1 and fail freely to the floor, often causing foot or toe injuries to the operator.
- container 1 further comprises safety catch 100.
- Safety catch 100 is configured to allow door 50 to freely rotate on hinges 52 while bearing no load (though safety catch 100 may bear some hydraulic load when door 50 is in its upright position and container 1 is loaded).
- Safety catch 100 also avoids the issues that arise with the use of a tethered restraint system.
- Safety catch 100 comprises sidewall portion 110, which is interconnected with or integral to sidewall 40 and door portion 130 that is interconnected with or integral to door 50.
- Sidewall portion 1 10 of safety catch 00 (best seen in Figure 9) comprises at least one post 112 extending from sidewall 40. Extending outward from each side of post 1 12 are pins 14, Spaced apart from the end portions of pins 4 are retention walls 1 16 that extend from sidewall 40.
- sidewall portion 100 comprises two posts 1 12. In this configuration, a single retention wall 1 16 is provided between the adjacent pins 1 14 of the two posts 1 12. Depending on the application, still more posts 112 may be provided, with only a single retention wall 116 provided between adjacent pins 1 14 of adjacent posts 1 12.
- Door portion 130 of safety catch 100 (best seen in Figure 11) comprises a pair of opposing housings 132 for each post 1 12 provided in the sidewall portion of safety catch 100.
- Each housing 132 extends from the lower portion of door 50.
- Each housing 132 further comprises rear wall 134,
- Each rear wall 134 has a thickness of no more than the distance between retention wall 116 and pin 1 14, and rear walls 134 of a pair of opposing housings 132 are spaced apart to allow rear walls 134 to be simultaneously inserted into the gap between the retentions walls 116 and pins 114 associated with post 112 of the sidewall portion of 1 10 of safety catch 100.
- Parallel walls 136 Extending from rear wall 134 are parallel walls 136, which are spaced apart the diameter of pin 114 to form slot 140 to receive pin 1 14.
- the closed end of slot 140 is formed by semi- circular wall 138.
- This configuration is best seen in figure 11.
- Parallel walls 136 and semicircular wail 138 extend from rear wall 134 a distance that is no greater than the length of pin 114.
- Parallel walls 136 are oriented at an angle downward from semi-circular wall 138 when door 50 is oriented vertically with its hinge side up. This facilitates installation of door 50 to sidewal l 40 and ensures that door portion 130 of safety catch 100 will not come disengaged from sidewall portion 110 when door 50 is allowed to rotate to its open position and hinges 52 have failed.
- Door 50 is further prevented from sliding off laterally by rear walls 134 of housings 132, each of which is positioned between a retention Avail 1 16 and the end of a pin 1 14.
- safety catch 100 Once safety catch 100 is engaged, door 50 is further connected to sidewall 40 using hinges 52. In the event of a failure of hinges 52, safety catch 100 will ensure that door 50 will remain attached to sidewall 40 when door 50 is unlatched and allowed to freely rotate to its open position.
